Thanksgiving Day and the Turkey When the first English settlers came to the United States, they found the woods full of big birds. The birds looked very much like a bird that Europeans had imported in their countries from Turkey. So they called the new bird a turkey. Thanksgiving is a tradition that dates back to the early settlers of America, who were known as the Pilgrims. They arrived in the new continent in In the spring, with the help of the Indians, they planted crops, built houses, and learned to fish and hunt. That autumn, the Pilgrims decided to give thanks to God for their good luck and to celebrate with a huge dinner. They invited their Indian friends to the celebration. Tables were loaded with food: deer meat, ducks, fish and many wild turkeys. The next year they celebrated Thanksgiving again. And it has become an American tradition since then.
